[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 3.1.2-1 problem/bug/?

[VDR User]

Hi.  I'm using Debian testing and "upgraded" from 3.1.1-3 to 3.1.2-1
earlier.  Now I'm getting "Error opening file for writing;
filename='/logs/vdr.log', error='Permission denied (13)'".. This
problem does _not_ occur with 3.1.1-3, which I have downgraded back to
(until the problem/bug is solved).  Are there any known issues causing
this?  I don't believe there are any permission problems considering
the user owns that dir and it works fine in 3.1.1-3.

Following is the diff between the syslog-ng.conf's.  The - lines are
from my working 3.1.1-3 conf, the + lines are from the 3.1.2-1
conf....  Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,
Derek
